Chapter 1020: A Phoenix Flying

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Youyao raised her voice and said, “Let them through.”

When the soldier guarding the entrance of the camp saw that it was Eldest

Princess Shaoyi, he quickly retracted his spear and shouted, “Let them through.”

A group of green-robed Daoist masters entered one after another.

Yu Youyao hurriedly went forward to greet them. “His Highness and the generals are discussing matters in the camp. It’s not a small matter. Elders, you’ve come from afar, but I apologize for not welcoming you. Please forgive me.”

Daoist Xu Ming took a step forward and said politely, “We’re all from the mountains, so we naturally don’t dare to disturb Your Highness.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yu Youyao quickly invited Xu Ming and the others to the tent to discuss.

After tea, Daoist Xu Ming explained the reason for their visit. “We’re here to help. We suddenly heard that there’s a calamity in the North, so we’re here to help King Yue Fei. Daoists cultivate the five arts of mountains, medicine, fate, divination, and physiognomy. I’m not talented. Only my medical skills are passable.”

Wasn’t this like receiving a pillow when she was sleepy? Yu Youyao couldn’t ask for more.

There were many people among the commoners who cultivated the Dao, but not every cultivator could obtain the recognition of the Daoists. The Daoists needed the permission of the Imperial Court to build a training hall. If one did not cultivate in a training hall approved by the Imperial Court, they would not be able to receive a Dao certificate. Furthermore, the Dao certificate had to be issued by the government office. Without a Dao certificate, they could not be considered true cultivators.

The Dao did not preach and only taught those with pure hearts. This was not just for talk.

Therefore, the threshold of Daoism was actually especially high. Almost everyone was a learned person. Meanwhile, Daoist experts were proficient in the art of disambiguation and treated this as a form of cultivation. Their medical skills were also very brilliant.

In order to learn medicine, Uncle Sun had studied Daoism a lot. He often sighed with emotion. The essence of Chinese medicine was all in Daoism.

Considering that Daoist Ming Xu and the others had experienced a long and tough journey, after understanding their purpose for coming and arranging for their meals and accommodation, Yu Youyao did not stay long.

Daoist Xu Ming asked one of the oldest old Daoists, “What do you think, Martial Uncle?”

The old Daoist closed his eyes. “A phoenix flies, covering its feathers.”

This was from the Classic of Poetry. It was from the Decade of Sheng Min, which was part of the Major Court Hymns. Daoist Xu Mings eyes flickered.

Back then, when King Zhou went out to travel, a poet had written this poem to praise and persuade King Cheng to pay respects to virtuous scholars.

The general idea was that in broad daylight, a phoenix would fly, and a hundred birds would spread their wings and follow closely.

Phoenixes were also known as fenghuang in China. “Feng” referred to males, while “huang” referred to females. Phoenixes were used as an analogy for King Yin Huaixi and Eldest Princess Shaoyi. Using a hundred birds to metaphorize those who followed them also meant that Yin Huaixi was fated.

What was even more interesting was that this poem was about the Emperor.

The word “Emperor” already explained everything.

Daoist Xu Ming asked again, “In Martial Uncle’s opinion, can we transcend this tribulation?”

The old Daoist said, “Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Since ancient times, a lone dragon has no power, and a lone phoenix does not cry. When the dragon and phoenix gather, it will be auspicious. Yin Huaixi’s fate has been decided.”

Daoist Xu Ming was overjoyed. Forty years ago, a Daoist priest from the Wanjun Mountain who was good at observing the stars and measuring fate at night was shocked when he realized that the North Star was dim and the Ruinous Star was shining brightly.

The Ruinous Star was a “star of consumption”. Ruinous soldiers were arbitrary, self-righteous, temperamental, and narrow-minded. The consumption of ruinous soldiers could exhaust the savings that they had worked hard for many years in a night. This “consumption” applied to the fate of the country. The fate of the country was being consumed.

Later on, when King Li of Zhou ascended the throne and personally conquered the north, this was proven.

After that, King Li of Zhou died.

The Great Zhou Dynasty’s dragon vein was about to end.

The world was in flames of war, and the Northern Barbarians entered the Central Plains.

In his grandmaster’s divination, King Li of Zhou was the destined one. He was a wise ruler, but his country was stolen by the army and the Great Zhou Dynasty’s dragon vein was severed.

On the first day of spring five years ago, there was a change in his divination.

This slight turn of events should have happened in the Yu Residence. The eldest daughter of the first wife, who was only ten years old, was the young daughter of the Yu Clan. However, this slight turn of events was very weak.

Auntie Xu, followed Eldest Miss Yu, had some affinity with Daoism a few years ago. When Daoist Xu Ming entered the palace to preach the Dao, he was treated quite well by the Empress Dowager. She even sent Auntie Xu to take care of him. Auntie Xu was proficient in pharmacology and knew some Daoism. When Xu Ming saw this woman’s intelligence, he gave her some pointers.

After Auntie Xu left the palace, she went to the Clear Void Temple to ask about the future.

Under Daoist Xu Ming’s interference, Auntie Xu entered the Yu Residence and went to Eldest Miss Yu!s side.

Fortunately, Yu Youyao’s phoenix fate was powerful.

Xu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Can the Northern Barbarians enter the Central Plains?”

According to the original divination, after the death of King Li of Zhou, the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be broken. When the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be the Greedy Wolves who would bring disaster to the country. The Greedy Wolves were smart and powerful, and they were tactful. If they were generals, they would be auspicious stars that would descend and bring peace. In contrast, as rulers, they would be greedy, suspicious, and have strong desires. They would be a disaster.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s dragon vein had been cut off by the

Northern Barbarians.

The old Daoist priest looked up. “Let’s see!”

Although his words were unclear, the serious expression on Xu Mings face clearly relaxed a little.

After Yin Huaixi finished discussing with the generals, he found out that Daoist immortals had come. He quickly went forward to visit them. No one knew what Yin Huaixi had said to the Daoist immortals, but they had temporarily settled down in the army.

Daoist Xu Ming and the others had come prepared. Each of them had brought a lot of medicinal herbs, most of which were expensive medicinal herbs that the army lacked.

Most of these medicinal herbs were picked from the deep mountains and old forests, and a portion of them were planted in the temple.

According to Daoist Xu Ming, the Wanjun Mountain had already gathered all the Daoists in the world to the North. Next, many Daoists would rush to the army from all over the country.

Yu Youyao looked up at the sky. It was snowing heavily.

A just cause would enjoy abundant support, while an unjust cause would gain

little.

Yin Huaixi was right.

In addition to these Daoist immortals who had been in seclusion in the past, there were still thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who were hot-blooded and burning with passion. They must be on their way to the

North.

Even though snow covered the sky and the path was long!

The next day, Yin Huaixi arranged for the Daoist masters to treat patients in the army.

The Daoist experts were especially good at acupuncture. Most of the soldiers had accumulated hidden injuries and their bodies were exhausted.

Acupuncture was still effective against their illnesses.

Often, a few sessions of acupuncture and a little medicinal herbs could cure the illness. Yu Youyao was amazed.

However, Daoist Xu Ming said, “Hidden injuries and fatigue aren’t serious illnesses. The bad thing is that they’ve accumulated over time and are deeply rooted. They can be eradicated with acupuncture techniques to clear the muscles and bones, clear the meridians, and revive the blood and qi. However, eradicating these injuries doesn’t mean that they can be cured. Hidden injuries will damage the body. Over time, they’re very harmful to the body. Often, they will shorten one’s lifespan and age. In the future, these soldiers still need to be supplemented with medicine to recuperate. The difficulty of this illness lies in recuperation.”

To most people, recuperation would only take a little more time, but to these soldiers, it seemed extremely extravagant.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips slightly, as if she had made a decision. With a flip of her palm, a crystal clear spiritual dewdrop danced lightly in her palm.

When Daoist Xu Ming saw this, his expression was calm. “Since ancient times, there have often been special and talented people. There’s nothing strange about them. On the Phoenix Mountain in Guangxi, there’s a milk spring. It’s the color of milk and doesn’t dry up all year round. If you throw in a coin, it floats on the surface of the water. The water is fragrant and mellow. If you drink it for a long time, it can extend your life..”
